The lectureships are aimed at strengthening the European dimension of the host university; supplementing the courses and imparting expertise knowledge to students who do not wish or are unable to study abroad. They should also promote the development of joint international study programmes as well as the exchange of course content and teaching methods. Personnel from foreign companies and organisations may also be invited to teach at German universities.
